St. Francis de Sales Church, Catholic church in Norton Shores, Michigan, United States
The church structure features a trapezoidal design with parabolic concrete walls extending upward to reach a height of 75 feet.
Marcel Breuer completed the design and construction of St. Francis de Sales Church between 1964 and 1966 after receiving the commission in 1961.
The parish serves 1,300 households in the Muskegon area through religious services, community gatherings, and social activities in Shepherds Hall.
The church building underwent renovations from 2016 to 2018 with a 2.5 million dollar investment to improve accessibility and visibility of the main entrance.
The sanctuary contains a white granite altar that contrasts with concrete walls and receives natural light through strategically placed skylights.
